Background: Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) is the second most common form of skin cancer and has potential for regional or distant metastasis. Despite the standardization of features associated with high-risk cSCC, an advanced subset of cSCC, there is no established consensus regarding proper management of this tumor.
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of cetuximab, add to existing management options, and aid in the development of standardized treatment for this tumor.
Background: There are multiple known risk factors for the development of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (SCC).
Objective: To determine whether patients with cutaneous SCC have a higher prevalence of hypothyroidism than the general US population.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective review was performed for patients seen at the University of Southern California with cutaneous SCC.
Background: Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) is the second most common form of skin cancer and metastasizes in 2% to 5% of cases.
Objective: Systematic evaluation of published cases of metastatic cSCC (mSCC) treated with cisplatin or cetuximab from 1989 to 2014.
Materials And Methods: A literature search was performed to identify cases of mSCC treated with cisplatin or cetuximab.
